Python and Bash are listed together as 'Python and/or Bash' — they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the scripting requirement, though in practice both are commonly used together.
Signal Processing and DSP experience appear only under the 'What Would be Nice to Have' section and are therefore preferred.
